    How to treat elbow soreness and swelling on back of elbow?

    Swelling and pain near the elbow can be treated by a process called R. I. C. E - rest, ice, compress and elevate. The first step is to provide adequate rest to the arm and apply ice packs, which will help decrease the swelling and speed up healing. Precaution should be taken to never apply ice directly on the elbow as it can damage your skin. Wrap the ice in a towel and apply it for 10-15min. The second step is to apply compression using an elbow wrap or a compression sleeve. The final step is to elevate your elbow to or above the level of the heart. You can take an over-the-counter painkiller such as Ibuprofen which helps you with the pain. If the symptoms do not go away or tend to increase, it is vital to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
